Everybody knows booking a hotel room for a night, especially in a posh city or a secluded island, are expensive. While it gives all the convenience you need—from hot showers to comfortable linens—hotel rooms tend to eat most of our travel budget.

A rental home can let you cook your own meal, have more than two persons to stay, and even lets you do the laundry all by yourself.

Ask around

Locals are known to be friendly and accommodating. If you have local friends around, you can ask them tips only they can spill such as the cheapest hotel room to book or the budget-friendly steakhouse nearby. However, always do your research first and do not rely solely on what locals say. Asking locals should just be a confirmation of what you researched for.
